LOS ANGELES, CA, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (NASDAQ: OCSL) (“Oaktree Specialty Lending” or the “Company”), a specialty finance company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 20231
- Total investment income was
$101.9 million ($1.32 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2023, as compared with$96.3 million ($1.32 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2023. Adjusted total investment income was$101.1 million ($1.31 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2023, as compared with$95.7 million ($1.31 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2023. The increase on a dollar basis was primarily driven by the first full quarter of interest income earned on the assets acquired in the merger with Oaktree Strategic Income II, Inc. (“OSI2”) (the “OSI2 Merger”) as well as the impact of higher base rates on the Company’s floating rate debt portfolio.
- GAAP net investment income was
$48.4 million ($0.63 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2023, as compared with$46.0 million ($0.63 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2023. The increase on a dollar basis was primarily driven by higher total investment income and lower operating expenses, which was partially offset by higher interest expense, management fees and Part I incentive fees.
- Adjusted net investment income was
$47.6 million ($0.62 per share) for the third fiscal quarter of 2023, as compared with$45.4 million ($0.62 per share) for the second fiscal quarter of 2023. The increase on a dollar basis was primarily the result of higher adjusted total investment income and lower operating expenses, which was partially offset by higher interest expense, management fees and Part I incentive fees.
- Net asset value ("NAV") per share was
$19.58 as of June 30, 2023, down slightly as compared with$19.66 as of March 31, 2023, which was mainly the result of unrealized depreciation on debt investments, partially offset by undistributed net investment income.
- Originated
$251.0 million of new investment commitments and received$261.0 million of proceeds from prepayments, exits, other paydowns and sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The weighted average yield on new debt investments was12.6% .
- Total debt outstanding was
$1,785.0 million as of June 30, 2023. The total debt to equity ratio was 1.18x, and the net debt to equity ratio was 1.14x, after adjusting for cash and cash equivalents.
- Upsized and extended maturity of the syndicated credit facility during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Total commitments were increased from
$1.0 billion to$1.2 billion and the maturity was extended to June 2028. Pricing, advance rates and other general terms were unchanged on the amended facility.
- Liquidity as of June 30, 2023 was comprised of
$59.7 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and$482.5 million of undrawn capacity under the Company's credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations). Unfunded investment commitments were$274.4 million , or$247.3 million excluding unfunded commitments to the Company's joint ventures. Of the$247.3 million , approximately$185.2 million can be drawn immediately with the remaining amount subject to certain milestones that must be met by portfolio companies.
- A quarterly cash distribution was declared of
$0.55 per share. The distribution is payable in cash on September 29, 2023 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
On a supplemental basis, the Company is disclosing certain adjusted financial measures, each of which is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company and to review the Company’s performance without giving effect to non-cash income/gain/loss resulting from the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger and in the case of adjusted net investment income, without giving effect to capital gains incentive fees. The presentation of the below non-GAAP measures is not intended to be a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation.
- "Adjusted Total Investment Income" and "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share" – represents total investment income excluding any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger.
- “Adjusted Net Investment Income” and “Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share” – represents net investment income, excluding (i) any amortization or accretion of interest income resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger and (ii) capital gains incentive fees ("Part II incentive fees").
- “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes” and “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share” – represents net realized and unrealized gains (losses) net of taxes excluding any net realized and unrealized gains (losses) resulting solely from the cost basis established by ASC 805 (see below) for the assets acquired in connection with the OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger.
- “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” – represents the sum of (i) Adjusted Net Investment Income and (ii) Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes and includes the impact of Part II incentive fees1, if any.
The OCSI Merger and the OSI2 Merger (the "Mergers") were accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues ("ASC 805"). The consideration paid to each of the stockholders of Oaktree Strategic Income Corporation ("OCSI") and OSI2 were allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired other than "non-qualifying" assets, which established a new cost basis for the acquired investments under ASC 805 that, in aggregate, was different than the historical cost basis of the acquired investments prior to the OCSI Merger or the OSI2 Merger, as applicable. Additionally, immediately following the completion of the Mergers, the acquired investments were marked to their respective fair values under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which resulted in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on debt investments acquired will accrete/amortize over the life of each respective debt investment through interest income, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investment acquired through its ultimate disposition. The new cost basis established by ASC 805 on equity investments acquired will not accrete/amortize over the life of such investments through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity investments acquired and disposition of such equity investments at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized gain/loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on disposition of such equity investments acquired.
The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described above internally to analyze and evaluate financial results and performance and to compare its financial results with those of other business development companies that have not adjusted the cost basis of certain investments pursuant to ASC 805. The Company’s management believes "Adjusted Total Investment Income", "Adjusted Total Investment Income Per Share", "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share" are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company without giving effect to the income resulting from the new cost basis of the investments acquired in the Mergers because these amounts do not impact the fees payable to Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") under its second amended and restated advisory agreement (the "A&R Advisory Agreement"), and specifically as its relates to "Adjusted Net Investment Income" and "Adjusted Net Investment Income Per Share", without giving effect to Part II incentive fees. In addition, the Company’s management believes that “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes”, “Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses), Net of Taxes Per Share”, “Adjusted Earnings (Loss)” and “Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share” are useful to investors as they exclude the non-cash income and gain/loss resulting from the Mergers and are used by management to evaluate the economic earnings of its investment portfolio. Moreover, these metrics more closely align the Company's key financial measures with the calculation of incentive fees payable to the Adviser under with the A&R Advisory Agreement (i.e., excluding amounts resulting solely from the lower cost basis of the acquired investments established by ASC 805 that would have been to the benefit of the Adviser absent such exclusion).
______________________
1 Adjusted earnings (loss) includes accrued Part II incentive fees. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2023, there was no accrued Part II incentive fee liability. Part II incentive fees are contractually calculated and paid at the end of the fiscal year in accordance with the A&R Advisory Agreement, which differs from Part II incentive fees accrued under GAAP. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, no amounts were payable under the A&R Advisory Agreement.
